Technology Upgrades in Chandrayaan 3 Over Chandrayaan 2

Chandrayaan 3 lunar mission features several technology upgrades over its predecessor Chandrayaan 2

The remarkable achievement of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in safely landing Chandrayaan-3 on the moon's south pole has filled every Indian, particularly space enthusiasts, with immense pride and curiosity.  As excitement for Chandrayaan-3 grows, there is a general desire to comprehend the complexities of ISRO's achievements. This article will examine the sequence of events led to the successful launch of Chandrayaan-3, revealing the improvements especially in technology upgrades from Chandrayaan-2.

With Chandrayaan-3, India's lunar mission has advanced significantly, building on the invaluable information acquired with Chandrayaan-2. The mission has undergone significant advancements and refinements as a result of ISRO's unwavering commitment to perfection, enhancing the probability of mission success.

1. Chandrayaan-3 includes enhancements that include hardening the lander's legs. The goal of this upgrade is to guarantee a secure lunar surface landing. The lander will be more stable and able to endure the pressures of impact upon landing due to its strengthened legs.

2. Chandrayaan 3's mission design has been modified in order to improve the way it will approach the moon's surface. These improvements, which improve control during the descent and landing phase, include alterations to the trajectory and approach angles. By tweaking the mission design, ISRO increased the spacecraft's capacity to navigate difficult lunar terrain and choose secure landing locations.

3. Chandrayaan 3 included additional safety measures compared to Chandrayaan 2 to guarantee a secure landing. Among these steps were redundant systems, better communication protocols, and stronger monitoring tools. Critical system redundancy reduces the possibility of single-point failures, boosting the mission's overall reliability and resilience. To enable the best data transmission and reception during the landing phase and to support real-time decision-making, communication protocols could be improved. Furthermore, throughout the descent, enhanced monitoring capabilities might offer insightful data that would let mission control make decisions and, if necessary, take corrective action.

Chandrayaan 3's navigation system has been updated to increase the precision of the spacecraft's position and orientation. A new star tracker on the spacecraft provides more precise readings of the object's direction. The spacecraft also makes use of a new inertial measurement device that offers more precise assessments of the acceleration and velocity of the vehicle.
